THE COLLEGE

IS ITS PEOPLE

The College of Law is the amalgam of our staff, board of governors,
advisory boards, state chapter boards, fellows, members and alumni.

The College employs over 400 staff, drawing from the legal
professional community at all levels. So we are in many ways a part of
the profession. We actively recruit both full and part-time staff from
the profession to ensure the design and delivery of our programs
reflect current practice.

We maintain our edge in practical law by drawing on the experience
and knowledge of our Advisory Boards, state Chapter Boards, our
Board of Governors, our Fellows and our extensive alumni.

staff alike. Canvas uses the best in modern technology to facilitate
the College’s practical, learning-by-doing teaching methods and
allows students to work anywhere, at any time and on any device.
